well damn....never thought of that one. Fine idea there. May do that for all my guys meters at work.

[edit] well damn again....you can buy fused meter leads lol.

hmmm...what about using the amp function? Maybe use that max amp fuse the meter is rated at and jump down an amp or 2.
You open the meter and find what fuse it takes,then use the next lower fuse in your fused lead.

leads, if you buy cheap, get a 2nd set just in case. nothing worse than a bad set of leads, you didn't test them prior, and chase your ass all day due to a set of bad leads.
Good metering habit is to test lead ohms before doing anything. Literally the first thing I always do.

Or make a fused lead with cheap common fuse. Thats what our instructor taught us,so an eff up doesn't result in having to open the meter and replace a 10.00 fuse. Open an inline fuse holder and .50 fuses from the hardware store.
SHOOT! I not only is that a great idea, that lead (punny) me to these with a built in ATO fuse! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YP7GSY/
